I'm stationed with AFchad at Macdill AFB Tampa! Plus there are two or three more Lightnings on base. He's got the fastes one, but at least I can say I have the biggest rims.

Hey ND4SP, I was at Dyess about a year and a half ago. 9th Bomb Squadron Bats!! I worked PS&D. I have a Red 99 Lightning. I think I had the only Gen. 2 Lightning at that time also. I see they have the BONE on static now from your picture. Looks good, but better when its flying!

jamzwayne, some of the MOS's that those Marines spend alot of time in school have a 5yr contract. You got out a month before I enlisted.
Myself, I have been in the Marine Corps for right around 7.5 yrs.

I have been out since then and I have missed it soooooo much.
There's just something about the feel one gets when a stick of C4 does its work.

School was a year so I had to give that extra year on my contract. Kind of ironic since I joined the military so I wouldnt have to go to school.

FLBigDog and Gator....small world isn't it? I see another white "L" riding around every now and again that kind of looks like mine.
I race the Gandy bridge sometimes.....as there is always alot of cars out. On Saturdays, there is quite a few "L" and Mustangs out and meet at the Sonic on Gandy.
My big even will most likely be Gainsville. Think I will enter the Tough Truck competition.

Sweet, I'm in the 28th. Hey were you ever in Honor Guard. I was in it about 2 years ago and there was a guy with a red L. I went on a rotation that he was on he said yeah I have the red lightning and I told him I had a red 95GT. Does that ring a bell, or was that someone else.

USAF Munitions Systems Specialist from 1986 - 1990. My last base was sunny Luke AFB in Phoenix, AZ. My father was USAF and my girlfriends 2 sons are in the Army. I'm glad to hear that there is still a lot of people taking pride in joining the military. I had a great time while I was in and wouldn't trade it for anything.
